Chair (2) - Wood - Following Pierre Lottier

Pair of Chippendale-style lacquered wooden chairs, following Pierre Lottier, 70’s – Spain

Exceptional pair of chairs with a Chippendale-style frame, lacquered wood in red to Andalusian taste, following the style of the prestigious French designer Pierre Lottier, toward the 1970s. Orientalist decorations with gold chinoiserie.

Their structure is robust, with the front legs curved, known as “cabriole legs.” It follows the English Chippendale style, a furniture style named after Thomas Chippendale (1718 – 1779), one of the great English-born cabinetmakers. In short, it’s a blend of Rococo, Neoclassical, and Baroque with certain oriental-influenced nuances. It’s an elegant, sophisticated, and majestic style. It is characterized by the prominence of wood, especially noble woods, which were often paired with the use of textiles (curtains, carpets, upholstery…) of high quality and usually printed, where oriental motifs and scenes were primordial. The curved legs are one of its identifying features. One of them has lost its chambrana (frieze/lining).

The influence of Pierre Lottier is also recognized in them, a French designer and architect born in 1888, in a France that would soon become the epicenter of an artistic revolution. A distinctive hallmark of his style and work was his ability to use exotic and rare materials in his creations. Precious woods, fine lacquers, ivory, and other luxury materials came together in his hands to form furniture that was not only functional but true works of art. His style was a fusion of modern and traditional, allowing him to create pieces that felt both timeless and emblematic of his era. But his designs were not only appreciated for their aesthetics, but also for their technical sophistication. Lottier had an expert eye for detail and balancing opulence with elegance, which made him highly sought after by the wealthiest and most discerning clients of Parisian society. His creations, which combine the exotic with the modern, remain a testament to his creative genius and his ability to capture the spirit of an era.
